Gerdau: Latin American Steelmaker Benefits From Tariff Hike (Rating Upgrade)
Gerdau has nearly 50% of North America's EBITDA, making it uniquely positioned to benefit from new tariffs on steel and aluminum. The stock trades at 4.79x EV/EBITDA vs. 10.2x the peer average, implying a strong upside if it is revalued. A 5% increase in steel prices could boost 2025 EBITDA by 12% to $1.79 billion due to high operating leverage.

Gerdau Q1 Earnings: Upside Is Interesting, But There Are No Triggers
Gerdau's revenue exceeded estimates, but net income disappointed for the 3rd consecutive quarter. Resilient EBITDA margin (13.8%), but Chinese competition puts pressure on operations in Brazil. High CapEx reduced FCF, while debt and leverage increased slightly. Attractive valuation (EV/EBITDA of 3.57x), but without clear triggers for appreciation.
